Node.js server file console.log() not showing when starting server with Grunt

I am starting my node application using grunt command. My Gruntfile.js is:

module.exports = function(grunt) {

    grunt.initConfig({
       nodemon: {
           dev: {
               script: 'server.js'
           }
       },

       watch: {
             css: {
                 files: ['src/css/*.scss'],
                 tasks: ['sass:dev']
             },
             js: {
                 files: ['src/js/*.js'],
                 tasks: ['uglify:dev']
             }
       },    

       concurrent: {
            options: {
                logConcurrentOutput: true
            },
            tasks: ['nodemon','watch']
        }
    });

    grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-nodemon');
    grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-contrib-watch');
    grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-concurrent');
    grunt.registerTask('default',['concurrent']);
};

When I run the application typing grunt I get the following output:

C:\Projects\SocialMeal>grunt
Running "concurrent:tasks" (concurrent) task
Running "nodemon:dev" (nodemon) task
Running "watch" task
Waiting...


[nodemon] v1.2.1
[nodemon] to restart at any time, enter `rs`
[nodemon] watching: *.*
[nodemon] starting `node server.js`

Then every console.log() call at server.js is not shown. If I start the app using node server.js the console.log() messages are shown.

Any hint?

Found it thanks to greuze. The problem was nodemon version. Changed it to 1.11.0 and the console.log outputs works now.

Simply removed the current version installed:

npm uninstall grunt-nodemon

And changed package.json:

"grunt-nodemon": "~1.10.0",

I do get console.log outputs.

I have an server.js file with content:

let name = 'Peter';

console.log(`My name is: ${name}`);

I used your Gruntfile.js.

I get this output after running grunt:

Running "concurrent:tasks" (concurrent) task
    Running "watch" task
    Waiting...
    Running "nodemon:dev" (nodemon) task
    [nodemon] 1.11.0
    [nodemon] to restart at any time, enter `rs`
    [nodemon] watching: *.*
    [nodemon] starting `node index.js`
    My name is: Peter
    [nodemon] clean exit - waiting for changes before restart

Note that there is the console.log output. Are you sure your process is not stuck anywhere?
